5、 the additional control is used to terminate the defrostcycle.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:Clause 5.8.9 currently requires the defrost temperature limiting control to be electrically connected to theungrounded conductor. Since the defrost timer is usually also connected to the ungrounded conductor,this le
6、aves the neutral side of the heater unprotected. This is undesirable, especially if refrigerators canbe exposed to reverse polarity. In this case, it is better to put the limiting control and timer on oppositesides of the defrost heater. Reviewing this construction from a single-fault standpoint, th
7、e constructionis acceptable as long as a control is provided in each leg of the circuit and the unit passes the burnouttest with each control shorted in turn. The use of the temperature limiting control in the neutral providesprotection against a shorted defrost heater on a reversed polarity circuit
